The overall experience for the K1 interview at the US embassy in Seoul was pretty darn good. We had a 830am appointment but did not actually arrive at the embassy until about 915am. The visa fee was not paid before the day of the interview so we had to wait until the bank opened at 9am to pay the visa fee. Then we rushed to the embassy that day. After also doing the passport delivery form, we went up to the third floor. Took a number and looked around. The american lady in the 308 window directed us to the 305 window where we submitted all of the information. Was asked why we were late and so we explained about the visa fee. She looked through our information and verified a few minir things. I was there too and for some reason I was asked to sign again the I-134 form. Then my fiancee did the fingerprinting right away. We went through basically everything all at once. Then we sat down and waitied. After almost everyone else before us went through the interview, we were fina... read complete review

Great experience all around, minus a few minor communication issues. The immigrant visa unit staff were very helpful in expediting our interview after our 22-day holdup in AP @ NVC. We got the Packet 3 email on October 1, returned it the same day, and received the Packet 4 interview email on October 5 with an October 6 interview date—all this, mind you, with an intervening holiday weekend (Chuseok)!
The interview process was very straightforward. Intake now begins at 8 am, with doors opening at 7:30. We were first in line and took number 1 from the dispenser. We were called right around 8 to submit our documents through the window, then waited around quite a while to be called for fingerprinting (a consular officer came out to explain that the delay was due to computer issues). About 20 minutes after fingerprinting, we were called up for the interview. A very friendly African-American female CO swore us both in, then asked Elisha a couple quick questions (How did you m... read complete review

 Seoul Embassy is extremely efficient and friendly. I'm submitting this review on behalf of my fiance. He just finished his interview today & overall his experience is outstanding. He arrived at the embassy at 8:00 AM, schedule interview is at 8:30 AM. Around 8:30 AM, he started to submit the documents through different windows. Then its fingerprinting. Then he waits for the final interview with the consulate officier. The entire interview was 3 mins long. The officer asked him: Where did you meet her? next question was when do you two plan to get married? then the officer asked if he can speak Chinese, since i'm Chinese American, i guess the officer was curious. That was it! Officer said OK!!! and stamped the papers..... fiance jumped up and said thank you & have a nice day. Overall, great impression of the Seoul Embassy. Since our case was forwarded to the Seoul Embassy from National Visa Center, it was extremely efficient and excellent customer service. There i... read complete review

On the day, all interviews are scheduled for 8:30am. They allow the petitioner to attend the appointment. We arrived at 8am and went right in, of course showing the appointment email to get in (they take your cellphone, like most other embassies I'm sure). You need to go up to the third floor and take a number. Then we waited and they only opened officially at 8:30. When they called our number we went to the window to hand over our documents. Make sure the documents are in the order of the checklist given in packet 3.5. I had mine all nicely arranged in plastic sleeves, but took them out since they didn't need them. So advice would be to simply have them in the correct order, copies of everything paper clipped to originals. The consular worker will go through it, check things and give back the originals. Then asked to take a seat and wait for fingerprinting. I was called a little while later and they took all my fingerprints. The fingerprint guy was quite friendly and funny.
